'have yer got any money on ya--- need some batteries for the Discotron Just enough for bus fare mate Its only worth 3 but he wants a fiver I haven't got enough get in ( and you've just travelled 80 miles to the venue and he not said anything before ) just enough for a tenners worth

These f*cking bogs stink have you got any tackle He's f*cked off--how we getting home now Oh and had this last night . 'Hey up youth, can you remember, that time we went the Mecca and...............(insert any adventure here) And you have no idea wtf he's on about --but just vaguely agree with him

You couldn't make it up could ya Mind some do play 'wrong uns'

For the more mature out there---Scratchy --Travis Wammack Or instantly recognisable--not 30 secs--but a killer intro--Roy Hamilton--Crackin up

Yeah,sure I read somewhere that his early work at Motown was with Brenda Holloway--so why not her. Then of course there is 'My sugar Baby'.................... . someone should write a book...

Exactly Malc . I came across this as an mp3 on t'internet a bit back and its confusing when yer listen to it It doesn't sound like Chris Clarke--however if this is a relatively recent mix then voice may have matured or whatever. Certainly been slowed down a bit to take account of age perhaps? haven't got a clue about this. Any 'proud' owners out there ? If it wasn't bloody Do I love you you might be tempted to view this in a different light----but.............

recorded september 1955--------------- Oldest record played out on the scene???????????????

Makes yer value the classics a bit dunnit Still whatever floats yer boat as they say . i wonder if they danced to this when it first came out in the '50's

I know mate it sounds like a brill night . On further investigation Jimmy james is on with him as well. Looks like '60's brit Soul/rnb reincarnate

just clicked on to the Liverpool phil website and not only DG and 'chums' but also on a different date is Candi Staton. however this pales into insignifance a little bit cos also appearing next Saturday is the legendary Geno Washington and his ram jam band with guest PP Arnold. Now then Geno must have been touring for ages and still going strong. Go on then hands up who's seen him

The depth of their work is incredible----enjoy Can't post a clip----just play my last played clip. Get the hang of this one day Seriously though they must have recorded 'hundreds of backing tracks like this

Health, wealth and happiness in 2009 to Mike and all the team on Soul source and to all the members on here who make Soul Source what it is Cheers folks have a good 'un Jez

Oh dear Im afraid to admit it ---but I can better that by 3 years or so . I still got me shoes from pre Nighter days at the Torch circa 1970 A pair of black and white brogue type beasts. Well worn on the heel which emphasised the type of dancing in them days--very much weight on the heels type of dance -remember Not seen the light of day for years, although I did threaten to wear them for my eldest daughters wedding this year, and she said she would disown if I did They are banished to my loft along with the first pair of football boots when I first played for a team----The 'George Best' signature boot with the side fastening to allow for greater ball control on the top of the boot!!! Never worked for me Yes and why do northern soulies horde things Happy new Year everybody Jez

Yes Tony, Its a crackin tune---first time I've heard it ,but never out at a do. 1971 release I think.

Having an absolute mare Gonna give up I think. Tracks are Hoagy Lands----Friends and lovers.. Springers---who you gonna turn to Can I post them up--can I fcuk

New to me and top drawer tracks imo

Yeah Smokey singing at the funeral------ fabulous . Interesting the Tammi Terell connection with David Ruffin as portrayed in the film

Fan bloody tastic! have the best xmas you can everybody

I don't think this is a oldies vs everything else issue---its possibly the same old issue of supply and demand. irespective of the merits of 'upfront and progressive attitudes towards your 'soul', there is a finite number of people to go round. If there are too many venues then attendances are bound to suffer. But this is not just the venues that 'offer something different' that appear to suffer. I live in the midlands and often the oldies/classics venues I go to . aren't as full as they could be . probably because there are too many venues offering oldies/classics on the same night. No matter how much you like your oldies---even they sound shite when there's only 40plus people in the room . Moreso than the upfront/underplayed stuff with only a small crowd in---at least they can chinstroke of course , there are exceptions, but generally if we can take as a given that folk like what they like then poor attendances may be down to 'too many and too often' seems strange that a scene built on rarity and a sense of .'underground' --- now every other town hosts a soul night. Yes I know this a a well thumbed topic.................

play soul soul play Soulful Strings Is it this mate. Off an album 'Groovin with the Soulful strings' . Don't know label

Yes they certainly were----but there seems a distinct lack of them played out nowadays. We should start a campaign to bring back the instrumental Surely there are enough 'quality' ones to slip a couple in at an evenings soul do. The aforementioned ones would not be out of place imo along with many others. It would be a shame if the instrumental was not part of a NS dj's repertoire any more. They were the bedrock of the scene in the late 60's ealy 70's and were considered very atmospheric. The Bill Black offerings through to yer San Remo sides were ever present. Bring back the quality instrumentals Mr DJ

A bad 'un will do

21 it is then john Tell me he hasn't done a version of chuck jacksons ---any Day Now Just seen it

Good ole Donnie hey . Wonder what link he had with darell and was darrells the first to be recorded . Anyway without double checking I am sure on the UK stateside release of DB it says the title is 'Open the Door of your heart I wonder if Donnie Elbert wrote it he also did a version that would be 21

Yes but can you imagine trying to sort out the playlist
